"It’s a darkness retreat... It’s just sitting in isolation, meditation, dealing with your thoughts. It stimulates DMT, so there can be some hallucinations in there..."
"... but it’s just kind of sitting in silence, which most of us never do."

Rather than that, I’d recommend a silent retreat at Cloisters on the Platte in Nebraska. The beauty of it is that the fans would have to leave him alone. On top of that, it is the best hotel and restaurant in the state.
I’m suspicious of people who need noise…
Someone should write a song about this.
Someone’s AI should write a song about it…
Sounds like he is on a "worldwide privacy tour" like Harry and Meghan.
Aaron seems to need attention a little too much.
I guess he will now emerge from darkness and show us the way!

Dave Begley:
My wife did the Cloisters on the Platte some years ago at my suggestion after I read your recommendation. She has been back every year since (except for 2020 I think, they were closed I believe). Anyway, she has kept her place and made good friends In Nebraska who she also visits every year when she goes. You did her and us a great service by mentioning the Cloisters on AA. I actually registered to go before she did, but work and life got in the way and I have never been.
Thanks!
"...so there could be some hallucinations in there..."
Going 0-4 in NFC Championship games in the last 12 years is no hallucination.
A guy joins a monastery where speaking is allowed only once a year, and even then only two words.
After the first year he is called to the Head Friar's office and asked for his thoughts.
'Bed hard,' he says and then leaves.
The second year he is called in again and says to the Head Friar, 'Food bad.'
The third year he comes to the office, sits down, and says, 'Room cold.'
The fourth year he comes to the office, sits down, and says, 'I quit.'
The Head Friar tells him, 'I knew this was coming. The whole time you've been here you've done nothing but complain.'
A "burden"... uh, burden is aborted in darkness.
Rodgers sees a cover 2 zone defense, when in reality it's a cover 4, throws a pick 6, blames hallucinations, heads to medical tent, instructs staff to close door and and turn off lights. Emerges 4 days later. Spotted walking hand-in-hand with Marianne Williamson.
Hey, let's drop $40 mil a year on this 40ish QB with declining stats and evidence he's gone just a bit off the rails.....
Go Jets!
When he emerged he saw his shadow, so 6 more months of indecision.
There is a budget version where you put a futon mat in your bathroom.
Hello darkness my old friend
The sound of silence must be good for Aaron because he returned to real life, and zoomed out to a California town to play some golf. Not only did he win the pro-am portion in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but he also had his name listed on the wall with famous golfers like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer.
So Aaron is on his way out of Packerland and we must now wonder if we will love Jordan. Methinks that Rodgers will rejoin Davante Adams with the Ray-Duhs.
Just retire already, old man
I have a lot of silent time.
I am very lonely.
Don Lemon thinks Rodgers is past his prime.
Freeman Hunt @ 12:24: “…budget version…”
Made me laugh, thanks.
Penguins loose:
Chin up, friend.
Please just retire and open that yurt yoga studio.
